Technical

Pictures need to have a hanging cord or, preferably, two D rings on the back of the frame.

To hang them we use the STAS system, with either Perlon cords or steel cable looped over our steel hanging bars and dropped down to take a Smartspring or Zipper hook, depending on the weight of the picture, with usually two cords and hooks per picture.

The maximum load for each combination:
perlon cord + 1x smartspring hook - up to 4kg (8.8lbs)
perlon cord + 1x zipper hook - up to 15 kg (33 lbs)
steel cable + 1x zipper hook - up to 20 kg (44 lbs)
